XMAS from DXB

2008 also we had.
Here's some pictures to add:

Next year XMAS in DXB guys?

Christmas at the Ooi's 2009

Since the number of wedding dinners have dwindled with the years, the holidays festivals are among the rare chance for us to catch up. As with previous years (2007), Shien Wei & family are host for the Christmas party.

Shien Wei & Szue Fei

Eric, Ravi (all the way from Michigan), Arlene & me (unseen but for both my hands digging into the food).

Szue Fei, Tong Huey and Michael, undoubtedly listening to another cracker from Ravi.

Raya 2009

Back from the long holidays. Not many celebrating raya around here but what the hell, selamat hari raya!

Staying Alive...by Minding Your Language

Dear folks,

After a long period of inactivity in this blog, I have been asked to post something here to keep it alive just abit longer.

Since there is a dearth of new activities among our old classmates and there are only so many umpteenth times we can see our old class photos circa 1980s with short tight shorts, bad hairdos, grimacing faces, tired-looking old teachers etc., lets try a new way to jog down our memory lane.

For those of us not struck by dementia yet, remember how certain characters in our long school life had imbued our vocabulary with their rich, colorful, trademark phrases?

For example, it was not until I read the newspaper last week that I came across again this ‘primitive’ word that was once sprinkled so frequently upon us ‘fortunate’ enough to be in his classes… Correct me if I wrong, but wasn’t it Mr Lim Kim Han that used to yell at us.. “yoooou GOBLOCK! !!”

So folks….these includes the class jesters (yes, you know who you are), the ace impersonators, the chatterbox, the prankster, the one-who-always-get-punished-till-backside-grew-several-layers-thick, the quiet guy at the corner of the class etc. Feel free to contribute to this post what kind of words, phrases, sentences that you guys can remember from our teachers, ex-classmates or anybody, over the years from primary to secondary school in SFI.

Let’s try and create something that we can put down in writing so we can play it back at our next reunion gathering – whenever and wherever it maybe.

PS: more the tech savvy ones, can try la put a podcast even in your best impersonation voice.

Regards

Eric Lee

Blast from the past – 10th year Reunion in 2001

Yup, that’s how long it has been. We had our reunion dinner in 2001 (29th December) at the Equatorial Hotel.

Now it’s 2009, another 2 more years before we all meet again for our (gosh!) 20th year Reunion.

So as a reminder for all you guys and gals out there, please start preparing yourself for the next big reunion….and yes, that includes those that are currently in the US, UK, Dubai, Singapore etc…

A Small CNY Gathering

KG was trying to do a headcount.


OSW, Jeff, Tony & KG

Had a small CNY gathering at our place. It was quite small but we enjoyed the company for sure! Sorry I could not make it for the big one at Sunny’s (was under the weather).

See you all in DXB.

Signing off from Dubai!!!

XMAS B4 DXB

A mini get together was held at the Oois over Christmas and here are some pics taken that evening.  It was lovely evening with good food and great company.
